Bill > H864

This bill amends Section 45 of Chapter 54 of the Massachusetts General Laws to require that official voting ballots be mailed postage prepaid with guaranteed return postage to each registered voter. Alternatively, if a voter specifically requests, the ballot can be made available for pickup at the local clerk's office. The bill includes an exception for certain conditions outlined in subsections (b) and (c) of section 91B (though the specifics of those subsections are not provided in this text). By mandating prepaid postage for mail-in ballots, the bill aims to potentially increase voter accessibility by removing potential financial barriers to voting and providing voters with multiple options for receiving their ballot.
